Mitigation for gvfs memory leak?
I have a workflow like this: I fire up my Win7 virtual machine, connect my smartphone, and run Samsung Smartswitch. This worked great in 14.04 LTS.
In 18.04 LTS...not so much. There's a giant memory leak in gvfsd-mtp that hoovers up all 12G of my RAM and brings my system to a halt.
There are bugs related to this and I've reported another. My question is, can there be any mitigation for this? Is there a way to fence in gvfs so it cannot use up all the RAM?

New kernel on 18.04 did not help. Neither did a workaround I found on superuser to limit memory use by process :(

In my case I can stopgvfsd-mtpprocess (pkill -STOP gvfsd-mtp) to avoid the memory increase.

Thanks. As I was writing this I realized I was probably doing the workaround wrong - I was limiting virtualbox and it should have been gvfs. I won't be able to try it again for a few days

It should be solved in upcoming release of gvfs (version 1.39.90, if I understand the version scheme). The fixing commit is this.
I had the same bug but with gvfsd-google, as I use GDrive as storage for Déjà Dup Backup.
